Sam's houseboat at lake Union scenes in Sleepless in Seattle The iconic houseboat from the movie was shot at 2640 Westlake Avenue North, in the Queen Anne Hill district of Lake Union - a city that is home to an abundance of these vessels.

Fans can still catch a glimpse of the iconic floating home where Tom Hanks' character Sam Baldwin lived. Sleepless in Seattle is easily considered to be one of the greatest rom-coms of all time.

Of course, the best way to see Seattle's houseboats and floating homes is by taking a guided tour via kayak with Agua Verde Paddle Club. You will launch in a state-of-the-art kayak from Agua Verde's dock right on Portage Bay, directly across from some of Seattle's landmark houseboats.

Lake Union The home is privately owned, so a tour from the water is your best bet for a glimpse (full disclosure: the interior shots were filmed on a soundstage). Try the Locks Cruise offered by Argosy Cruises (*argosycruises.com) for a glimpse of the houseboat life.
